Is 2.5 closer to 0 or 5

Tanzania [10]3 years ago

Well, think of it as going home. Say you are 2.5 miles away from your school, and you need to walk 2.5 more miles to your house, then say it's about to rain. Will you run back to school or to your home? The problem with this is it's close to each number because it's equal. If you add or subtract, you get both answers, so this is a trick question.

Answer:

2.5 is closer to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

when using 2.5 you have to round down and if you round down you get 0 not 5.

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (4,−1) that is parallel to the line 2x−3y=9.
motikmotik

Hey there!

Line passes through (4, -1) & is parallel to 2x -3y=9

Let's start off by identifying what our slope is. In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we know that "m" is our slope.

The given equation needs to be converted into slope-intercept form and we can do this by getting y onto its own side of the equal sign.

Start off by subtracting 2x from both sides.

-3y = -2x + 9

Then, divide both sides by -3.

y = (-2x + 9)/-3

Simplify.

y = 2/3x - 3

"M" is simply a place mat so if we look at our given line, the "m" value is 2/3. Therefore, our slope is 2/3.

We should also note that we're looking for a line that's parallel to the given one. This means that our new line has the same slope as our given line. Therefore, our new line has a slope of 2/3.

Now, we use point-slope form ( y-y₁=m(x-x₁) ) to complete our task of finding a line that passes through (4, -1). Our new slope is 2/3 & it passes through (4, -1).

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Let's start by plugging in 2/3 for m (our new slope), 4 for x1 and -1 for y1.

y - (-1) = 2/3(x - 4)

Simplify.

y + 1 = 2/3 + 8/3

Simplify by subtracting 1 from both sides.

y = 2/3x + 8/3 - 1

Simplify.

y = 2/3x + 5/3

Help please! Could you explain it too?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

a) not proportional

b) proportional; k = -\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) for any proportional equation, the line must pass through the origin. The equation in a) is y = 4x + 1, and the '+1' is the y-intercept. This means that the line does not pass through the origin, so x and y cannot increase by the same amount (i.e. they are not proportional).

Another way to determine this is is to use the y = kx base. If you have an equation that fits that it's likely proportional.

Here, if the equation was only y = 4x then it'd be proportional because u can see that k = 4. This is not the equation though, and the 4x + 1 doesn't fit to the y = kx formula so it can't be proportional.

b) straight away you can see that there's no 'c' term (y = mx + c) which means the y-intercept is 0, so the line passes through the origin. While this does not immediately mean the line is proportional, you can make sure that it is by checking it fits with the y = kx equation.

y = -(3/5)x fits with y = kx, with k being -3/5
